50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Lincoln

“Recently rebuilt with a very modern interior and windows on all sides so you can enjoy the small park out back. Runza and their Runza sandwich are local legends, if your a Lincoln visitor you really should try one. Its kind of seasonal but my favorite is the Philly Cheese steak Runza. The cinnamon rolls are a classic recipe from another Lincoln business, Miller and Paine, and are incredible.“

“Great Food, Great Serving Size. There's a little bit of wait, but I still give 5 stars as the ladies are really nice and friendly. Maybe need a few more table, but I still give 5 stars on atmosphere since at least they did not cramp the place with so many tables, and the place is clean and bright.“

“APPLAUSE!! You made a bad experience one to remember in a positive way. I didn't check my bag until I left the drive thru but noticed right away there was NO FRING to my frings, not only that but I had about 9 fries in the bag (it was a kids meal but there should be more than that). I turned around and went inside and the gentleman in the back saw me and didn't make me wait even 30 seconds. I explained, he apologized and grabbed the bag and went to the back. When he came back my fries were full and i had a few extra rings to enjoy. He topped it off with a complimentary cookie and asked me to have a blessed day. WAY TO GO RUNZA BELMONT!!“

“The staff and service at this location was great. They forgot to add my 8pc nuggets, so I called and got connected with Chick Fil A Cares. They do not care. The man on the phone was very rude and made the call much more difficult than it needed to be. I went back to the store and they quickly got me my nuggets and gave me a brownie for the inconvenience. So impressed with their swiftness in correcting the mistake.“

“I like eating food at Runza, but order accuracy needs some work. In the last 4 trips, the order was wrong. But I check now before leaving. The store decor is not very comfortable. The seating leaves a lot to be desired. But as I started with, I do love their food, and they do a really good job of making it with consistency.“

“The best onion rings in Nebraska. The double cheeseburgers are as close to home made as there is. And the runzas for the cost of the daily temperature in the winter, and the $1 chocolate and vanilla twist cones in the summer are local favorites for the last twenty years.“

“This place was AMAZING! The staff members are great I felt welcomed when I first came inside, the interior looks amazing, it’s not dirty at all, really great place! Really sets the mood! The food not only looks fanatic but tastes great! Overall a wonderful experience would recommend for people to come.“

“I had the southwest chicken salad with extra dressing. It was good after I took all the bad lettuce out. Usually, they do a real good job. But this was the first time at this store. Need a little better quality control. Other than that, the salad was good. I found the bad lettuce on the bottom.“

“You need to bring one to Overland Park Kansas. I don’t get to Nebraska very often. Love their Mushroom and Swiss Runza!!“

“I love freddy’s. Always have and always will. This freddy’s is one of the best that I’ve been too. Cleanliness is great and the customer service is immaculate. Keegan took our order and was very friendly and started a conversation with us. He also went and looked for seasoning packets for us.“

“You need to bring one to Overland Park Kansas. I don’t get to Nebraska very often. Love their Mushroom and Swiss Runza!!“

“Such a nice looking store. It's complimented by polite and diligent staff and excellent food.Amazing how runza can give you such am amazing experience and yet you go down the street to McDonald's and it's the opposite.Truly shows how well run the business is, shown in the hearts of the employees who work thereKeep being awesome, runza“

“We love Freddy’s ❤️ great food and great service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My First impression of a runza. Needed a beer with the Nebraska staple. My second regret. I should have been another one..lol

Will definitely do so next year.

Sincerely,
A new Texas Runza fan.“

“We're driving through Lincoln and kids asked for firehouse subs!\n\nVery nice people. Nice little place.\n\nI had the pizza meatball sub. It was great. Really good. Brownies as side was nice.\n\nThey had good options for the whole family. Plain sandwiches for some and fun hot options for others.\n\n“

“Clean, well-staffed Culvers location that provided us great and quick service. My wife and I had the Sourdough Melt ButterBurgers, fries, steamed broccoli, and a chocolate frozen custard. We walked 1.7 miles from our hotel to eat here a were very pleased with the delicious and fulfilling meal provided.“

“I ordered the Swiss Mushroom Burger and French Fries via the drive-thru. Runza has the best fries! You can tell they change the oil in the fryer on a regular basis. The burger never tastes like it's been frozen and looks and tastes like real beef should. The staff were friendly and efficient and easy to understand when going through the drive-thru.“

“Love this place, wonderful employees and they give great pup cups!“

“Rate: 10/10 Had an issue with my payment. But the owner was there and found a quick and perfect solution. He talked me though the issue, Helped me learn. And provided a wonderful and compassionate experience. I can't give 10 stars. But with the quality of the food and the polite staff. This is a 10/10“

“This place is known for their salads. My daughter-in-law ordered the Double Berry Chicken variety and was pleased. My son went with a classic the Single Don.

Their other famous offering is the Double Don which is a favorite burger of my husband's. I got the Frenchee kids meal, gotta get a Large side of pickles to accompany.

Kids love their chicken and mini burgers. Plus some of the best fries and rings ever. Was given lots of yummy take-home ranch for our leftovers!

Once again...Best "fast food" joint in town! ❤️“

“I have serious food allergies. I went to this location on 7/8/24. The staff member that helped me (unfortunately I did not get his name) went above and beyond. I watched him wipe down the machine and he took the ime to recognize my needs. A wonderful experience.“

“Newly remodeled nice location, clean , roomy, fast service, good food definitely will return.

“This place truly deserves a heartfelt shout-out! The food is absolutely delicious, and the skilled staff behind the counter are incredibly helpful in helping you create your perfect pizza masterpiece. It's clear that the management genuinely cares, making the entire experience warm and welcoming.“

“Good place to visit while eating with bff“

“I had ordered a three scoop custard in a cup at the beginning and said I'd pick up before I leave. I went to get it after I had finished my food only to realize she never out on the ticket. Then I ordered and paid for one and waited over 10 minutes for it. She said they were backed up. She could have done it herself right aqay.“

“Runza is always a great choice for lunch. Staff are friendly and you are able to get your food quickly and it's served hot and fast.

Temperature Tuesday prices are a super good bonus

The only slight negative is that the Cinnamon rolls could be slightly bigger.“

“We live close to this location, and I must say the team and the food are always awesome. As a matter of fact, we love the team here so much we decided to use our coupons to get a basketball, have the entire team sign it, and add it to our sports memorabilia collection! What a team!“

“Some of my food was cold

Kid-friendliness: They have kid's meals and there chicken is good

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a spot for wheelchair to get up the sidewalk, you have to open the door, but they will bring you your food and help with you drink also“

“it was super great! ordered the two big beef and cheese and its a minor miracle that I made it through one entirely! at that point. yes. very happy now and was very happy thanks to Arby's local get fresh crews yeah you know who you are !!! ;) “

“Food is excellent and so is the service!“

“Let me start off by saying this is the second time that I brought my fiance here and we brought her boys for their first time all the way from Texas. Now the boys weren't too keen on the sandwich but they do like the fries and the ice cream and let me say that the people working here were so nice and gave them such big ice cream cones. I have to say they were very polite and nice and I definitely like how cleanly and tidy the place was and how fast the service was and how they treat you is above any other. I definitely recommend coming here.

Kid-friendliness: They are very nice and polite and on the kids meals on their bag they give you a free coupon for a free ice cream and also a free coupon to use at the zoo for a free train ride so don't throw the kids meal bag away“

“Usually great experience but tonight not so much. Our food was done in a reasonable time minus the 5 shakes we ordered, had to request them and waited extra long while they tried to figure out who was going to make them. Then when they started working on them they figured out they were out of mix. Our food was cold by the time we got the shakes. So disappointed in the service.“

“We came inside to get a To Go order it was at 4:20pm not much going on , I very much enjoyed Cashier / Manger Chris She is friendly and full of energy.. in the short amount of time I was waiting they got busy in the dining area and drive thru . She did an amazing Job I will be coming Back to this Location Because of her … Good customer service is hard to find but You Got it here … Thank you !!!“

“The Crispy Fish Sandwich. I look forward to this exact sandwich from the time it disappears after Lent until it returns the last week of December.
Extra lettuce, add some Horsey sauce to the tartar. There are a couple of variations but the classic is what I always choose. Plus curly fries 🤤.“

“The staff are my favorite! Manager and everyone always friendly/welcoming! Elynor was so nice and helpful“

“We went inside to order instead of driving through and I am glad we did. We met the manager who made us laugh and he took great care in helping my wife avoid any spicy connection to the jalapenos put on my sandwich just before hers. Great experience!“

“Great food! Funnel cakes are yummy!“

“We love Raising Cane’s for a quick bite to eat. It never disappoints for comfort food and I love their sweet tea.

My only complaint is that they fry their foods in a blend of an unhealthy soybean and canola oil. I would happily pay a higher price for healthier food options.“

“This is regarding the crew at Sonic 1500 S Coddington Lincoln NE. 7/27/25 around 6:00 pm. I accidentally ordered footlong chili dogs for my grandkids and realized it when my order was read back as I paid. I was hungry and my brain wasn't working properly and instead of just taking the long dogs I got stuck on how that wasn't what I ordered. The crew didn't argue didn't fuss and quickly gave me what I ordered. They also went outside and checked on the poor ppl waiting behind me and got them moving. Everyone was polite and professional and motivated to do a good job. I was impressed and hope you let them know how much the quality of their work is appreciated. The food was good the order was right. I apologize for not being the best customer but you definitely have the best employees and I thank them.
Sincerely,
Courtney C“

“I ate two burritos, and stared at the new apartment complexes they're building on 84th. The sour cream primes my intestines to mourn beside my aching mind the loss of what were once green fields. John Taco whispers into my mind, "It's a teardrop in a volcano after all, my friend." Do I turn my car West, and race the sunset home? Or do I move myself North, until the night swallows the city?“

“I don’t know how I got there. I thought it was only for cowboys, a man who works on a train. A man on a horse or truck. But inside I saw woman, children…..anuone Can Eat Arby even MY Self! the problem begin when my samdwich has Leafs of Meat on it. I asked What? Is Happening. And the everyone ignored me. I was feeling like Im A Ghost? Walking. the Earth? I feel something else….The same feeling I have at Wendy Hamburger Restatrant. that Wendy , a young person who never gets old, watches me eat a whole meal inclusing drink and frys. Now why would she be watchng me at Arby???! Because I aam a ghost? a. OR IS WENDY AND ARBY THE SAME PERSON? My answer has to be “YES” . This needs to have beeen told to me before I ordered my Beef here. Pleas listen to me and do this. And the meat need to be less thin. Like I said it was LEAF sized, Im not okay!“

“Kids loved it - great quality and great prices. Lots of flavors and sour spray… what …. and moms loved the plastic cup covers A+“

“Definitely recommend taking the drive to Dairy Joe’s in Emerald! They have amazing ice cream, delicious pizza, and friendly service:). There’s some indoor seating and outdoor seating. A cute place to cool off in the summer!“

“Everything was good very helpful“

“Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the staff genuinely seemed to enjoy what they do, which added to the whole experience. Can’t say enough about how incredible the service was special thanks to the team Jayden,Jayde,Robyn for going above and beyond.“

“Very friendly staff :) I got the gyro AND the gyro salad. Makes my tummy happy!“

“The absolute best Dairy Queen around!“

“food was nice & hot! I didnt have to wait long for my food!“

“We had taken our car into the shop about a block down the street and decided to walk down and have a dairy Queen while we were there. Everything was perfect. The staff was extremely friendly. It was very nice and relaxing. Just sitting there eating our ice cream.

Kid-friendliness: Kid's love the Dairy Queen.“

“Had a great experience eating here today. Store was clean and staff had great customer service and communication skills. Unfortunately, good customer service is hard to come by in the food world today so I felt that alone was worthy of a review. Food was fresh, quick, and good! We will be back!“
